I understand your confusion on the questions. Why don't you contact the rescue and ask for a clearer definition of the points you have made? It may help create a better rapport with them and help you get the rescue you want. I hesitated to get a rescue before Raina because I knew they would think our yard is too small or our fence is not tall enough and I do crate my animals nightly. I know I don't leave my dog outside to exercise itself and I don't leave my dog in the crate excessively but some rescues make it really hard to qualify for all their criteria as they don't know what qualifications and experience a person has. Good luck getting the dog you want.
